I agree it is not Xenophobic but my point is we are a prepping site not a political or social issues site. I cannot see any reason why we should raise and discuss such issues on this site.
I can understand pointing out a new article on over-immigration as a threat. It is. But we have so many of these posts and none seem to add anything just raise the same issues so we can say the same things again and again.
NR, thinks this is the start of a slippery slopr but it isn't we already had rules that covered what is going on, read the posting, comments and forum policies on the main site. It will only get slippery slope if we deliberately skate close to the edge to abuse the policies.
Personally I don't see what the issue is. It is nothing like changing our views on handling dangerous tasks or talking about illegal activities it is just making sure we stay on topic and don't drift into areas that add nothing to the debate.
An example just for NR
Someone posts something about a black guy with 253 kids getting 2.1M pw in benefits. - Sure it is annoying but what does it do for prepping. We don't need that.
Someone else posts about a Jimmy Saville Lookalike seen in London. - Who cares?
Someone posts about a muslim shooting our troops in the UK. That is relevant but doesn't really need responses of send them all home or kill them all.
Just think about what you are posting. Is it relevant to prepping? Will it add value.
Then think about what you are commenting. Is it adding anything to the discussion? Is it relevant to prepping. If you disagree about something someone said, they are not an idiot they just have different requirements and views.
Let us not forget our primary objective; Prepping advice. Anything social isn't even on the priority list. Regardless of what Chris Rock says.
